Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, an insulating layer disposed on the substrate, a first conductive feature disposed in the insulating layer, and a capacitor structure disposed on the insulating layer. The capacitor structure includes a first electrode, a first dielectric layer, a second electrode, a second dielectric layer, and a third electrode sequentially stacked. The semiconductor device also includes a first via connected to the first electrode and the third electrode, a second via connected to the second electrode, and a third via connected to the first conductive feature. A part of the first via is disposed in the insulating layer. A portion of the first conductive feature is directly under the capacitor structure.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method of distinguishing multiple touch points applied to an optical touch system which includes a panel for indicating a first touch point and a second touch point thereon and a camera unit for capturing an image relative to the first touch point and the second touch point. The image has a first dark area and a second dark area corresponding to the first touch point and the second touch point respectively. In the method, if it is observed that the first dark area and the second dark area merge into a first single dark area and a second single dark area at current time and previous time respectively, the respective positions of the first dark area and the second dark area are determined and the respective coordinates of the first touch point and the second touch point are also determined.

Abstract: The invention provides an image-based coordinate input apparatus and method for detecting positions of N objects on a coordinate input region at a detecting interval where N equals to 1 or 2. According to the invention, starting at the start of the detecting interval, successive first images at a first view and successive second images at a second view relative to the N objects and a background of the perimeter of the coordinate input region are captured and buffered. The apparatus and method according to the invention judges the number of the N objects and calculates the positions of the N objects on the coordinate input region at the detecting interval in accordance with the buffered successive first images and the buffered successive second images.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of turning over a three-dimensional graphic object by use of a touch sensitive input device. In particular, the method according to the invention provides a user with intuitive operation on a touch sensitive surface of the touch sensitive input device to turn over whole or a portion (e.g., a page sub-object) of the three-dimensional graphic object.

In the method, if it is observed that the first dark area and the second dark area merge into a first single dark area and a second single dark area at current time and previous time respectively, the respective positions of the first dark area and the second dark area are determined based on the respective union dark area widths of the first single dark area and the second single dark area, and the respective coordinates of the first touch point and the second touch point are determined according to the respective positions of the first dark area and the second dark area.

Abstract: A printing apparatus for paperboards includes two movable frame plates, a printing device mounted between the movable frame plates, two side frames each having an opening in an upper portion thereof to allow hoisting of the movable frame plates, and at least one positioning device mounted on each side frame. The at least one positioning device includes a pneumatic cylinder and a push mechanism actuatable by the pneumatic cylinder to a position pressing against each movable frame plate to thereby position the printing device.
